Scam Money Transfers - Banks, Bank Managers
Example - Dr David Brown, Korea Exchange Bank
Have you received an email from a bank official, "Dr David Brown" at "Korea Exchange Bank",
claiming that he has found a "dormant account" or money from a deceased customer
with no next of kin, or no will, and he needs you, a foreigner to help him take
the money, to keep it from being turned over to the bank or government?
It is a scam. Even if it weren't a scam, it would be a felony,
fraud and theft. But it is all nonsense, a scam made up to get money from you.
See the example below, an actual email from the scammer, sent to a victim.
The scammer intends to to get hold of your money instead, by conning you into sending money for various "fees" to free the
"funds in escrow".
If you would like a step by step
explanation of how this type of "Advance Fee Fraud" works, click here!
Note some of the obvious scam clues that we have
highlighted in the email below,
such as excessive/incorrect use of CAPITAL letters, terrible spelling, grammar
and punctuation, the use of free email accounts rather than a domain and website that
matches the company's name, etc.

The General Auditor:
Korea Exchange Bank,
30 Old Jewry
London
EC2R 8EB.
Attn:
My Name is Dr David Brown.I am the General Auditor of Korea
Exchange Bank United Kingdom Branch.During one of our major
audits,I personally discovered some funds floating in an
account in the Bank;which was opened in 1993
belonging to a
deceased person by name; late Mr. Mark Maust,(untill his
demise),was a personal contractor with the Shell Petroleum
Development Company in the middle east.He died after a
severe crash.
Since then, I have made several enquiries with his country
embassies to locate any of his extended relatives, this has
also proved unsuccessful.I decided to track his last name
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family
hence I got in contact with you. I am contacting you to
Quietly assist me in repatriating this huge amount of money
left behind by the deceased in my Bank before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
BANK/INSTITUTION. The deceased had a deposit presently
valued at USD25.2million.
After going through the company records and files, I
discovered that :
(1) No one has operated this account since 1995; (2)
The owner of the account died without a heir, hence
the money has been floating. (3) No other person knows
about this account and there was no known beneficiary.
AND IF I DO NOT REMIT THIS MONEY URGENTLY, IT WOULD BE
FORFEITED FOR NOTHING.
This money can only be approved to a foreign
beneficiary with a valid international passport or
driver's license and an account, hence I am contacting
you. I will require your urgent reply so that I give
you the next step.
I am willing to give you 15% of the entire funds,then 5%
should be set aside to settle all expenses you and I may
incure during the process of
transfering the funds.
All I require is your honest Co-operation, Confidentiality
and Trust to enable us see this transaction through.I
guarantee you that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect from any breach of the law.
All I ask from you is the following:
1. Your full names
2. your telephone/mobile and fax numbers
3. your physical Address.
4. Age.
5. Occupation.
Your urgent response will be highly anticipated and
appreciated.
Best regard.
Dr David Brown.
